The Volkswagen Group capitalizes costs to obtain a contract and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract only if they are material, the underlying contract has a term of at least one year, and these costs would not have been incurred, if the corresponding contract had not been entered into. As of December 31, 2023, no costs to obtain contracts were recognized as assets (previous year: €81 million). In fiscal year 2023, the capitalized costs to obtain contracts were realized in total; in the previous year, amortization charges on capitalized costs to obtain contracts had amounted to €47 million.
